Hey i have a cpu grow box that i bought online, it working nice i already started growing 2 plats, Church and Lemon Skunk seeds and they are doing great.
I want to know when should i start flowering stege(from 24hour light to 12 hour light) for this plants because the space inside the box is very small
u can see them in the pictures,
btw i had been using 24 hour light, i have turned the light off yet, and they are growing hydroponics on water with the nutrient level between 750-800.

they have about 3 weeks, maybe less!

man, buy yourself a cabinet from walmart and transfer your lights and fans. my buddy got as veg box from pcgrowcase.com and his lowryder2s are running out of room. his set up looks just like yours and he has a shorter strain than you.you can pick up reflective mylar from home depot too. Google fresh 2TI bulbs. if you buy these you shoulnt need a carbon filter

Dear elbercasa:

I am just about to start my first indoor grow. I have grown outdoors 10 times over the last 15 years. My question is: Why is there such a following behind CPU-box-grows? I throw those fuckers at the recycling-guy periodically, from old computers from my company. They don't seem to have a lot of room, the surfaces are not polished-dimples like the reflector-shield I got with my 600w HPS bulb setup, and the area is so SMALL!
Shit dude, when I start this grow indoors, (5 fem Nirvana NL/600w soil, 7x11 dedicated room) I risk my job, ergo my house and everything in it and freedom. You are doing the same as I am in the Court's eyes! (if we are caught,) but the harvest has gotta be about 2 joints! Growing in a CPU box seems like waving a gun around in the mall, but not really shooting anyone. (not that I'm violent or anything. I just don't see anything other than these grows being for "novelty" purposes. it seems like a "just asking for trouble")

I don't mean to shit on your parade, seriously. I have seen some really facinating and informative threads here, written by f-ers whom know their stuff. It is all good. But it seems to me that I would be able to smoke your whole harvest over a game of "high-stakes-competitive-Yahtzee-with-side-betting-and-house-rules-in-effect."

Is it because of family or kids or a girl, that people do this style of grow? What are the factors that dictate such a grow.
Tell me what your lighting is, is it a CFL? and how are you going to handle the root expansion'growths?
Again, best of luck, wish me the same.
